Is AI recommending your competitors instead of you?

SiteProbe helps Dubai and UAE businesses get found and recommended by ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI and Perplexity.

Illustrative example, not a real AI answer
Customer asks: Who's the best dentist in Al Barsha?

Here are three well-reviewed options nearby:

  1. Competitor A Hundreds of recent reviews and clear opening hours.
  2. Competitor B Often listed in local "best of" guides.
  3. Competitor C Detailed FAQ answering common questions.
Your business: not mentioned

Customers in the UAE now ask AI “who’s the best ___ near me?” If your business isn’t in the answer, you’re invisible.

  • ChatGPT
  • Gemini
  • Google AI Overviews
  • Google AI Mode
  • Perplexity
  • Copilot

Three ways an AI answer can let you down

Missing
Your competitors are recommended and you never come up.
Misdescribed
You're named, but with old hours, wrong prices or services you don't offer.
Uncredited
You're named, but the AI links to a directory or a rival, so the customer goes there.

What we do

How does SiteProbe get you recommended?

We don't just hand you a dashboard. We find the gaps, then do the work to close them, with you.

Fix: can AI understand your site?

Answer-first pages, schema markup, an open robots.txt and llms.txt, plus matching business details on Google Business Profile and directories.

Grow: do others vouch for you?

AI trusts what other sites say about you. We grow genuine reviews, places on the "best of" lists AI reads, helpful answers on Reddit and Quora, and press mentions.

Track: is it working?

The same customer questions, run every month. A plain report on mentions, links, accuracy and the competitors named instead.

What do you actually get from us?

Findings you can act on, not a score to stare at. Every gap comes with the evidence and a clear next step.

  • VisibilityHow often you're named across the same question set.
  • LinksHow often the AI points customers to your own website.
  • AccuracyWhether your hours, prices, location and services are right.
  • CompetitorsWho appears instead of you, and the sources the AI used.
  • Next stepsWhat we did this month, what's next, on a short call.
Sample finding, fictional business

"Which clinic in Dubai Marina does same-day whitening?"

What we saw
Two competitors named. The clinic was not mentioned. Its whitening page loads its text with JavaScript, and its opening hours differ between Google and its website.
The fix
Put the service details in plain text, answer the question in the first lines of the page, add FAQ and LocalBusiness schema, and match the hours everywhere.
Effort
Small. Most of it in the first week of a setup sprint.

What does the SiteProbe Audit Engine check?

Our free audit tool reads your public pages, makes no changes and needs no account. Results in about 10 to 30 seconds.

Get your free AI visibility check
  • AI crawler access

    Are OAI-SearchBot, ChatGPT-User, PerplexityBot, Googlebot and Bingbot allowed by your robots.txt, and does your host let them in?

  • Machine-readable data

    Is there structured data for your business type, and can your name, address and phone be found on the page?

  • Site basics

    HTTPS, mobile setup, response time, page titles and descriptions, and your XML sitemap.

  • Listing consistency

    Does your site link to your Google Maps and other listings so AI can connect them?

  • Agent-ready actions

    Can customers, and AI agents, book, order, call or WhatsApp you from the site?

You get an AI Visibility score, an Agent-Ready score and a ranked list of the top fixes. It doesn't ask AI tools about you; that's what the full audit is for.

Because we'd rather be clear than impressive. These are the rules we work by.

    AI answers vary, so we promise honest measurement and better trends, not rankings.

  • Evidence with every finding

    You see the questions we asked and what the AI answered, so you can check our work.

    Plain English, the same questions each month, and a call to talk it through.

Read: What is AEO?

What is AEO?

Answer engine optimisation (AEO) is the work of getting your business found, described accurately and recommended inside AI answers from tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Google AI Overviews and Perplexity.

How is AEO different from SEO?

SEO aims to rank your pages in a list of links. AEO aims to get your business named inside the answer itself. Both need a clear website that search tools can read, but AEO leans more on structured data, answer-first content and what other websites say about you.

Do I need to replace my SEO agency or my website?

No. AEO builds on the same foundations as SEO, so we can work alongside your current agency or web developer. Most fixes happen on the website and listings you already have.

How long until I see results?

It varies. Fixes to your website can be picked up as soon as AI tools read it again, while reviews, mentions and content build over months. That is why we run the same questions every month and report the trend.

Can you guarantee my business will be #1 on ChatGPT?

No, and nobody honestly can. AI answers change from person to person and day to day, and no agency controls them. What we can do is strengthen the signals AI relies on and show you, month by month, how often you are mentioned compared with competitors.

How do you report results?

Each month we run the same set of customer questions through the AI tools and send a short, plain-English report: how often you were mentioned, how often your website was linked, whether the details were right, which competitors appeared, and what we are doing next. We walk you through it on a call.

What do you need from me to get started?

Your website address, the questions you think customers ask, and the competitors you most often lose business to. For a setup sprint we also need someone who can approve changes to your website and Google Business Profile.

What does the free AI visibility check include?

The free check runs on the SiteProbe Audit Engine. It reads the public pages of your website and checks whether AI search crawlers can get in, whether your business details and structured data can be read by machines, whether you link to your listings, and whether customers can book, buy or contact you. You get an AI Visibility score, an Agent-Ready score and a ranked list of fixes. It does not ask AI tools questions about you; the full audit does that, with real customer questions and a competitor comparison.
